I've made a new version 1.14 which adds the open_file tag to the vdi image as discussed in this thread.

This may increase stability for some people.

Crystal,
Cosmology@Home have also some postponed.
Have running it for a longer time, up to two weeks ago.
There is no control, when it comes.
The only Version Virtualbox with no problems, always is 5.2.44.
Is it possible to test it for us?
Thank you.
Do it also tomorrow on my 8-Core.

I will not test (very) old versions of VirtualBox.

btw: project admin and -scientist of C@H wasn't active himself for over 4 years.

The postponed status overthere probably is coming from communication lost between vboxwrapper and VBoxSVC.exe

It seems a bit challenging to get these tasks at the moment. Could you make a bunch of them available again... ? Thanks

Did you follow this and set your Windows host to UTC?

Mmm, no.

This setting doesn't change your local timezone.
It just tells Windows whether the BIOS RTC is set to UTC or to local time.

I encountered that "postponed" problem now for the first time. This task:
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3098089

"Postponed" had happened while that task was running parallel to one LHC@home ATLAS v2.00 task.
I suspended both tasks, shutdown Boinc, restarted Boinc and resumed both tasks. This v1.14 task then started all over from the beginning. It's making progress again.

I encountered that "postponed" problem now for the first time. This task:
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3098089


I aborted that task as there was no real prosessing happening.
Then I clicked "reset" for this project and made sure there were no vdi-images left on the disk. And also VirtualBox Manager didn't show any.

Still, the next task was again postponed straight away:
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3098138
There was one v2.00 task running in parallel at this point.

Command:
VBoxManage -q storageattach "boinc_ff69ef3af1554759" --storagectl "Hard Disk Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --mtype multiattach --medium "D:/Boinc_data/projects/lhcathomedev.cern.ch_lhcathome-dev/ATLAS_vbox_1.14_image.vdi"

Output:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot attach medium 'D:\Boinc_data\projects\lhcathomedev.cern.ch_lhcathome-dev\ATLAS_vbox_1.14_image.vdi': the media type 'MultiAttach' can only be attached to machines that were created with VirtualBox 4.0 or later
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component SessionMachine, interface IMachine, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "AttachDevice(Bstr(pszCtl).raw(), port, device, DeviceType_HardDisk, pMedium2Mount)" at line 776 of file VBoxManageStorageController.cpp

Notes:

Another VirtualBox management application has locked the session for this VM.
BOINC cannot properly monitor this VM and so this job will be aborted.



2022-07-07 03:51:53 (8328): Could not create VM
2022-07-07 03:51:53 (8328): ERROR: VM failed to start
2022-07-07 03:51:58 (8328):
NOTE: VM session lock error encountered.
BOINC will be notified that it needs to clean up the environment.
This might be a temporary problem and so this job will be rescheduled for another time.

Have Atlas-Production tasks (Virtualbox 6.0.14) running with vboxwrapper204 (rename of the original name vboxwrapper_26198ab7_windows_x86_64)
Testing Theory from -dev, no postponed.
So, when both are using vboxwrapper204, it ok.https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4639

I have the following combination running both with vboxwrapper 26204: Theory from LHC@home (production) and ATLAS from the dev-server.
The difference is: dev is using multi attach VM's and production is using 'normal' VM's.
It's not the vboxwrapper itself causing problems, but the access of multi-attach, when also a normal VM is in use.
It's always the multi-attach not able to create the difference file and get the postponed and powered off status
